Hello, My art museum has an enclosed atrium with tropical plants in the center of the galleries. Unfortunately, during the last replanting, it became infested with mites. Several fairly benign methods have been employed to get rid of them by our plant care company, to no avail. They want to use beneficial insects that eat the mites, specifically *Amblysaius andersori*.
Does anyone have experience with beneficials in museums? Is there any possibility of damage to artwork (paintings, sculpture and works on paper) if these insects were to somehow get out into the galleries? Any advice would be highly appreciated!
